Chapter 411: The End of the 9th World
Chapter 411 The End of Jiuli World
In the crowd, a middle-aged Taoist in a water-blue robe stepped forward and bowed. His face was calm and his eyes were bright, but his eyes could not hide a trace of awe and nervousness in the face of an indestructible existence. He was the chief disciple of Tianhe Dao Sect's Chongshui Peak, Master Chongshan, who had just broken through to the celestial realm not long ago.
"I am Chongshan, the disciple, and I have come to congratulate the Taoist Lord on the orders of the sect leader." Chongshan said respectfully, with an extremely humble attitude.
Xu Qing's eyes fell on Chongshan and he said slowly, "The Tianhe Sect Master is in seclusion, is it to avoid disaster?"
Chongshan bowed his head quickly and said, "Reporting to the Taoist, that's exactly what happened. The sect leader feels that the calamity is approaching, and has gone into seclusion to practice, hoping to get through it safely."
"Yes." Xu Qing nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to Xu Qingzhu beside him. His voice was a little gentle, but it was clearly heard by every messenger: "Today, I hereby announce that my daughter Xu Qingzhu will be the Saint of Tianhe Dao Sect and convey my will on my behalf."
As soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a huge rock into the calm water, causing ripples. The envoys of other forces looked at each other, while Chongshan suddenly raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Taoist Lord..." Chongshan opened his mouth hesitantly, wanting to say something, but when he felt Xu Qing's calm yet majestic gaze, he swallowed the words back.
Xu Qing ignored everyone's reaction and continued, "Qingzhu has received my true teachings and is in charge of the Great Dao of Frozen Absoluteness. His status is equivalent to my incarnation in Tianhe Dao Sect. You must remember that seeing Qingzhu is like seeing me."
Chongshan kowtowed immediately and said, "Disciple obeys the Taoist's order! I pay my respects to the Saint Lady!"
The other cultivators of Tianhe Dao Sect also reacted, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Greetings to the Saint Lady!" Although they still had some doubts in their hearts, facing the indestructible Dao Lord, they did not dare to question him in the slightest.
Xu Qingzhu stood aside, her cold eyes swept over her chief senior brother from Chongshui Peak and other fellow disciples from Tianhe Dao Sect. Her father's arrangement was obviously meaningful. She understood that her identity as a "holy lady" did not mean that she could directly lead Tianhe Dao Sect, but that as her father's representative, she had a very high status and voice in the sect.
She took a step forward, walked in front of Chongshan, and said calmly: "Brother Chongshan, there is no need to be so polite. Qingzhu will need your guidance in the future to assist the sect master together."
Chongshan quickly bowed and said, "You are too polite, Saint Auntie. I will do my best to assist you." Although he felt a little complicated, he could also feel the profound "Frozen" Taoist charm from Xu Qingzhu and the pressure faintly emanating from his blood, which made him dare not underestimate him in the slightest.
Xu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and once again glanced at the envoys below, and said in a loud voice: "You all have come from afar, and you are all distinguished guests of the Chunyang Realm. I will host a banquet at the Yuhua Terrace in three days to entertain you. During this period, you can travel freely in the Chunyang Realm and experience the new atmosphere of our world."
"Thank you, Daojun!" All the envoys thanked him in unison, their hearts full of anticipation. They really wanted to know what kind of changes would happen to the Pure Yang Realm after experiencing the baptism of the Daojun's preaching.
Xu Qing waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. Then, he looked at Feng Wu beside him, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Awu, let's go back."
Feng Wu nodded gently and snuggled up to Xu Qing. The two of them disappeared from the stage in a flash, leaving only the messengers on the ground and the Mars above their heads, which was emitting a faint warmth.
In the next three days, the messengers from the heavens and the myriad worlds traveled around the Pure Yang Realm. They were surprised to find that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Pure Yang Realm had increased by more than ten times compared to before, countless dormant spiritual veins had regained vitality, and all kinds of natural treasures had emerged like mushrooms after rain.
Chongshan also took the envoy of Tianhe Dao Sect to travel in Chunyang Realm, feeling the changes between heaven and earth. He could clearly feel that since Daojun preached, the laws of the entire Chunyang Realm had become clearer, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for those who practiced. At the same time, he also secretly observed Xu Qingzhu and found that the aura exuded by this former junior sister now far surpassed his own, which made him feel deeply moved.
Three days later, the Ascension Stage was filled with a dazzling array of immortal delicacies, and various immortal wines exuded an alluring aroma. Xu Qing, Feng Wu and his children attended the banquet, drinking and chatting happily with the envoys from the heavens and the myriad worlds.
At the banquet, Xu Qing did not act superior, but rather appeared to be quite easy-going. He discussed the Dao with everyone and answered their questions about cultivation, making everyone feel relaxed.
Of course, there were also some forces secretly testing Xu Qing's background, wanting to know more about the secret of his eternal enlightenment. But Xu Qing just smiled indifferently and did not explain too much.
Through this banquet, Xu Qing also showed his strength and attitude to the heavens and the worlds. He was determined to protect the Pure Yang World and was willing to communicate and cooperate with other worlds.
The banquet lasted for a whole day, and only ended slowly when night fell. The envoys from all the heavens and worlds stood up and said goodbye. They left the Pure Yang Realm with their respective missions and gains.
Chongshan also led the envoys of Tianhe Dao Sect to leave. Before leaving, he saluted Xu Qingzhu respectfully again, his eyes full of awe and recognition.
He understood that although Xu Qingzhu was not directly in charge of the sect, as the representative of the Taoist Lord, her status in the Tianhe Taoist Sect was transcendent and no one could shake it.
Outside the Chunyang Realm, the brilliant galaxy gradually returned to calm. Only the newly born Mars was still emitting warm light in the night sky, indicating that the world was ushering in a new era.
But for Xu Qing, this is just the beginning.
He stood on the top of the Yuhua Platform, gazing into the endless void, his gaze deep and firm.
He knew that with his rise, the Pure Yang Realm would inevitably attract more attention and face more challenges. But he believed that with him and his family, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and even the entire Pure Yang Realm would not be afraid of any storms and would overcome all obstacles.
He gently held Feng Wu's hand, and they smiled at each other, saying everything.
Their eyes are all cast towards the vaster and more mysterious Taixu universe, where countless wonders and challenges await them.
And Xu Qingzhu will also show a new side of herself in the world of cultivation as the Saint Lady of Tianhe Taoist Sect and become an extension of her father's will.
...
...
However, the peace in the Pure Yang Realm did not last long.
Just a few days after Xu Qing hosted a banquet for guests from various forces at Yuhuatai, far away in the depths of Taixu, a vast world shrouded in a strong evil spirit - the Jiuli world, suddenly suffered a devastating disaster.
At this moment, a huge alchemy furnace that was ancient and heavy, and engraved with countless mysterious runes, appeared in the void outside the Jiuli Realm at some point in time.
The alchemy furnace was dark gold in color throughout, with the Bagua pattern flowing on it endlessly, giving off a terrifying aura that could suppress the heavens and refine all things.
It was the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the most precious treasure of the Supreme Dao Sect. The mouth of the furnace slowly opened, like a black hole that swallowed up the world, releasing an incomparable suction force. The entire Jiuli world, along with its billions of lives, trembled and twisted under this terrifying suction force, as if they were about to be torn apart.
The Jiuli barbarians would not sit still and wait for death. A thunderous roar resounded throughout the universe, and a tall, muscular, and strangely patterned figure appeared in the core of the Jiuli Realm. He held a giant axe in his hand, and was the supreme king of the Jiuli barbarians - the Jiuli Barbarian King.
He returned from the Lingtai Star Sea, peeked into the secrets of the ancient temple, and refined a trace of the legendary Axe of Creation.
"Master Supreme, you are going too far." The Jiuli Barbarian King roared repeatedly and swung out with the giant axe in his hand, trying to block the devouring power of the Bagua Furnace.
Axe lights containing powerful wizard power cut through the void, but they were like drop in the ocean and were instantly sucked into the Bagua Furnace without causing even a ripple.
At the same time, from all over the Jiuli Realm, powerful auras rose into the sky. They were the many great witches under the command of the Jiuli Barbarian King.
They all used their witchcraft and magical powers, and summoned various powerful magical weapons in an attempt to resist this world-destroying suction force.
However, in front of a treasure like the Bagua Furnace, their resistance seemed so fragile and powerless.
The entire Jiuli world was shaking violently, countless mountains and rivers collapsed, rivers flowed backwards, and the earth cracked open with huge cracks. Countless Jiuli barbarians roared in despair, their bodies were involuntarily sucked into the sky, and finally thrown into the terrifying Bagua furnace.
The one who controlled the Eight Trigrams Furnace was none other than the leader of the Supreme Dao Sect. He sat cross-legged on top of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, his eyes slightly closed, his entire body emitting a mysterious and profound Tai Chi Dao rhythm.
In his eyes, devouring the Jiuli world and refining billions of barbarians were just a step to achieve his grand plan.
As the entire Jiuli world was completely sucked into the Bagua furnace, the furnace cover slammed shut, and the Bagua pattern on it instantly lit up with dazzling light. Inside the furnace, endless chaos fire burned fiercely, and began to refine everything in the Jiuli world.
The roar of the Jiuli Barbarian King, the growls of the great witches, and the wails of countless barbarians intertwined into a tragic scene in the Bagua Furnace.
However, these sounds were quickly swallowed up by the burning sound of the Chaos True Fire.
The leader of the Supreme Taoist sect activated the Bagua Furnace with an expressionless face. His spiritual consciousness penetrated deep into the furnace, carefully sensing the essence and blood of the ancestor witch contained in the Jiuli world.
The Jiuli barbarians are descendants of the witch clan. Although their bloodline is thin, when the blood essence of hundreds of millions of barbarians is gathered together and then refined and purified in the Bagua furnace, they can obtain a considerable amount of the blood essence of the ancestor witch.
His goal was to use the essence and blood of these ancient witches to set up the legendary Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. This formation was created by the twelve ancient witches who were transformed from the essence and blood of the great god Pangu after he created the world. It was extremely powerful and could destroy the world. Once this formation was set up, Pangu's true body could be condensed, and he would have the supreme power to create the world.
The leader of the Supreme Dao Sect knew very well how great a threat Xu Qing posed to the Supreme Dao Sect after he had achieved immortality. If he could not improve his strength as soon as possible, the foundation of the Supreme Dao Sect would be destroyed. The Twelve Capitals of Heavenly Gods and Demons Array was his greatest support in fighting against Xu Qing.
The destruction of the Jiuli World was like a stone thrown into a lake in the vastness of the universe. Although it caused a few ripples, it was soon swallowed up by the endless darkness. However, for those powerful people who were paying attention to the developments of the Pure Yang World and the Supreme Dao Sect, the disappearance of the Jiuli World foreshadowed the coming of a more violent storm.
In the Chunyang Realm, Xu Qing naturally also noticed the unusual movement in the void. He frowned slightly, and his powerful divine consciousness instantly penetrated the layers of void, and saw the burning Bagua furnace, the Jiuli barbarians struggling and wailing in the furnace, the immortal disciples of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty that he had sent to the Jiuli world, and his eldest son Xu Xuanhu and others.
"Taishang Dao Zong, you really can't hold it back anymore?" Xu Qing's eyes were cold, and an invisible anger was burning in his heart.
He turned around and looked at Feng Wu beside him. The actions of the Supreme Dao Sect Master had completely torn off his last bit of dignity. The next fight would probably be even more brutal.
"Awu, it's true that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop." Xu Qing sighed softly and then told what was happening.
Feng Wu looked worried, "Husband, Xuan Hu..."
Xu Qing held her hand and whispered, "Xuan Hu is protected by three generations of Black Mountain Old Demons. These three guys turned into the sun. Although their self-awareness is constantly being erased, their magical powers are becoming more and more unimaginable. Even if I take action, I can't solve them for a while. You can rest assured."
Feng Wu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Xu Qing then sneered: "Besides, if I don't go, the Supreme Dao Sect Master will not use the most drastic means."
He possesses the Great Dao of Taiyi and is fully aware of the intentions of the Great Dao Master.
If I don't go, the other party will take this opportunity to cultivate into Pangu's true body and deal with me.
If he went, the other side would take the opportunity to lure him into the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
This is the most advanced killing formation in the universe. Under Daozu, no one except Hunyuan Wuji can escape unscathed.
What's more, Xu Qing's current body is not indestructible.
If his incarnation were captured by the Supreme Taoist Sect, the other party might use some means to trace the source and poison his original body.
"Neither early nor late, the Lord of the Supreme Dao Sect comes to refine the Jiuli world at this time. I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter." Xu Qing thought to himself.
He knew clearly that if the leader of the Supreme Dao Sect had been able to refine the Jiuli world and cultivate Pangu's true body long ago, why would he wait until now to take action?
He pondered for a while about the key to this, and after the Taiyi Dao Seed was put into operation, he finally understood the secret.
"It turns out that it was because the King of Jiuli entered the Ancient Temple."
Xu Qing saw through the secret and understood that it was the opportunity given by the King of Jiuli when he entered the ancient temple last time that further stimulated the blood of the ancestor witch in his body, which allowed the Lord of Tai Shang Dao to see the hope of refining the Jiuli world and cultivating the true body of Pangu. So after making sufficient preparations, the Lord of Tai Shang Dao decisively started this plan in the face of the powerful threat posed by Xu Qing's return.
